Now the Cat Detector Vans, those are legit!

But this time there would be ugly AI monkeys to look at.
Maybe. But it's pretty to avoid, all you have to do is NOT send porn to people who didn't ask for it. Literally easier to not do it.
Goatse isn't porn. Goatse is life. And I can't avoid sending it.
No publicly-released LLM can understand math.
When I had ChatGPT 4 calculate how 100,000 rocketships tethered to Mercury would affect its orbit, it never could do the calculations unless I manually taught it all the equations involved. It became much, much more complicated than me doign teh calculations myself, so that’s what I did in the end and just fed ChatGPT the explicit answers so it could help me write a scifi story.
Women should be FULLY obsoleted by machines around the year 2032 at the current rate.
We already have sexy bots that feel like women, fuck better than women, and can have full-on conversations with you.
Once they add Robot Vision and embody ChatGPT 6 in them, they’ll be the real-deal Stepford Wives.
I started coding when I was 9 back in the 1980s.
Until March 2023, I had always thought that I would code until I was dead. I actually never planned on retiring, unless it was to become a digital monk, writing open source for the betterment of humanity inside a kind of ultra tech monastery for other codes craftsmen.
Now, I worry that my intense passion will be absoleted completely by 2030 and I’ll just be a dinosaur, like a professional horse taxi in the age of Teslas.
It fills me with intense sadness and despair, actually. All I can do is be somewhat Buddhist about it and keep quoting to myself “Fear is the mind killer.”
You’re categorically wrong.
They always give you the “good driver” rate and your price 99% of the time can only go up. It’s a complete scam due to plausible deniability.
You know, I bring with me the Texas apartment rental form, prefilled out, with 0s for every charge.
Every single time, the agent blindly accepts it.
SEveral times, I’ve early terminated my lease and paid nothing.
It is legit how it works. You should try it.
I even do it with non-compete clauses and all sorts of stuff, including retaining my rights to software I write, in employment contracts. It’s worked for 15 years and only 2 or 3 companies ever caught on.
The Toronto Sun is part of Postmedia, an American-owned chain that exercises strong editorial control and is basically Fox North.
Canadian Civil Liberties Association seems legit, but the Canadian Constitution Foundation is part of the Koch Atlas network, slipping far-right American money into Canadian politics.
That doesn't mean that they're wrong, but what they say should be examined carefully for fish hooks.
Think of the poor body builders and weightlifters miscategorized by the BMI!
Look around the world. In other places, inner cities are highly desirable places to live. Even within the US - does NYC suffer from lots of poor low-IQ people downtown? I don't think so. Why did the middle classes flee many cities of America? What drove them out that did not happen in other countries, not even Canada?
Racism.
Or, instead of cramming people into cities, when you spread them out you create zones. Each zone has its own stores to support the area. Everything is close enough that an electric car could be used or, if one prefers, bike to the place. Or even walk if your home is close enough. Sort of a return to malls but spread out.
That's a city. You're describing a city, where you can bike or walk where you need to.
And I don't mean those tiny communities developers are doing. I mean people have a quarter acre of land for their house. Large enough to spread people and have some privacy, but not so large a person or family couldn't take care of it. For those who are too lazy to take care of their acreage, they can live in row homes.*
That's the opposite of the above, basically the existing suburban sprawl nightmare.
R2 looks like a regular boxy SUV though? The R3 is basically a lifted Golf so that's pretty cool at least.
If you want to put yourself on the map, publish your own map.
